A former minister of state for trade and investment in the United Kingdom, Digby Jones, said the fact London’s mayor is Muslim has nothing to do with the terror attack — an attack which was committed by a Muslim convert, Khalid Masood, and that left four dead and several injured.
Jones’ remarks came as lawmakers in Britain were debating the attack, its reasons and the country’s response. Raised during the discussions was the content of a recent tweet from Eric Trump Jr., who wrote, in response to London’s attacks: “You have to be kidding me?! Terror attacks are part of living in big city, says London Mayor Sadiq Khan.”

You use a terrorist attack on our city to attack London's Mayor for your own political gain. You're a disgrace.
— Wes Streeting MP (@wesstreeting) March 22, 2017
Trump’s tweet was actually a response to something Khan said in previous interviews — when he seemed to suggest that terrorism was a way of life for big city residents, and that modern day living meant innocent civilians had to adjust to that reality.
Trump’s tweet didn’t go over well with the left-leaning politicos in Britain.
From the Washington Post:
“British lawmakers emerging from Westminster Abbey, where they found sanctuary after the attack, also defended the [Muslim] mayor — and insisted his Muslim identity would not be a factor as the city comes to grips with the incident. ‘There should not be a single thought about what his identity is,’ said Pola Uddin, a member of the House of Lords. ‘This is a moment of reflection for all Londoners, and should lead us to consider the fact that we largely haven’t experienced such attacks before, while other cities have.’
“Dominic Grieve, a Conservative MP, said the mayor was not in a difficult position owing to prior statements on terrorism and security — “none whatsoever,” he said.
“The message the mayor has sent to London residents is fitting, said Digby Jones. ‘You’re safer in London than you’ve ever been,’ he said. ‘If this turns out to be an act of Islamic terrorism, I think the fact that the man is a Muslim is utterly and completely irrelevant.'”

Of course it has nothing to do with Islam because anyone with a brain knows that Islam is a religion of peace. It was just a minor traffic accident.

Unfortunately, everybody who comes to defense of that “Muslim mayor” have no brain left to properly analyze the situation and find proper cure. Subsequently, they blindly flounder further in that swamp they find themselves without any hope for quick fix.

I’m glad TRUMP Jr. let him have it!
SADIQ KHAN is not to be pitied or sympathized with.
I don’t recognize him as the mayor of London (he is illegitimate).
He defended one of the 9/11 hijackers.
I hope other people go after him on Twitter.

Im’ glad that Trump is on our side. Anybody who thinks the ‘religion of peace’ meme is relevant should read the Koran.

The mayor of London, SADIQ KHAN (SADIST in short), defended one of the 9/11 hijackers and Louis Farrakhan, saying that “even the worst people deserve representation” (TAQIYA).
I wonder if he will represent the London attacker now?

The attacker was another “LOCAL” (wink) and homegrown citizen who went to SAUDI ARABIA and came back a terrorist!
Why we need TRAVEL BANS!
They’re constitutional and moral and American!

Amusing how these bottom feeders manage to twist everything even when the knife is at their throat. They would rather die than give up their ideology.

The sooner people in all nations realize that Islam cannot be defeated by any means except force, the better. It’s kill or be killed in the real sense with these low-life violent people and their ‘religion of peace’. National suicide in order to remain politically correct is the only other option to us in the West.

Islam is a violent death cult that will never be contained nor defeated by insipid PC policies

Digby Jones is a fully bought up and paid for member of the British political / business establishment, the issues surrounding Islamic religiously motivated terrorism are way above his pay grade, forget him, some circus is out looking for it’s missing clown.

They should round up about 50 to 100 Muslims that had any association with this killer and line them up against the wall and do a we won’t tolerate this kind if action from you or anyone else if you want to live in this country. Zero tolerance should be the name of the game here. The mayor should be voted out or put in jail for his pro-Islamic viewpoints…

The religion of Politically Correct Secular Humanism may end up being the most destructive of all the religions made up by men. There is one true God, and He gave us one means to salvation. Thank you, Jesus!

We are at war with Islam – until we at least name the enemy – we will never defeat them.
